Author(s): Md. Imran Iqwal
Abstract: Turkey's foreign policy regarding the Middle East has changed dramatically during the previous two decades. Ankara's neo-Ottoman and anti-Western foreign policy activities have been increasingly visible under the Justice and Development Party (AKP) leadership. This article links Turkey's religious & geopolitical imagination to civilization list and neo-Ottoman views that have moulded its foreign policy aims and tools under the AKP leadership. According to the report, religious, & geopolitical vision is a consequence of Turkey's foreign policy shift toward the Middle East that might give the country a leadership position in the area. Overall, the growth of faith-based geopolitical imagination may be attributed to factors other than foreign policy concerns, such as economic objectives and domestic political goals. Turkey has employed a combination of soft and hard power techniques to stay in the area, with a more targeted balancing of soft power abilities. This quick transition might be due to internal issues like rising inflation, a falling currency, and the AKP's declining popularity. This essay will concentrate on modern trends in Turkish foreign policy regarding the Middle East.
